Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • 80% profit split with a 4th-withdrawal performance-fee bonus. Two payout methods: Bi-Weekly (every 14 days, $100 min) or On-Demand (request anytime once the consistency and 2% profit thresholds are met). Hedging and stacking allowed within one account. Risk-management EAs permitted on MT5. Weekend/overnight holding allowed on Swing, One and Three plans and during Pro evaluation phases.
  • Up to 90% profit split, daily payouts from $250 with no minimum trading days, one-day Sim Funded stage before Live Brokerage, news trading allowed, up to 3 funded accounts per trader
Main Drawbacks
  • Weekend holding triggers a soft breach (profit removal) on Pro funded (Qualified Analyst) accounts. EAs limited to risk-management tools only - no fully automated strategies, HFT or latency arbitrage (immediate account closure). Cross-account hedging and group trading with identical EAs are prohibited. On-demand payouts require passing the 40% Best Day consistency rule plus a minimum 2% gross profit.
  • Evaluation plans auto-renew as a 30-day recurring subscription until passed or cancelled; reset fees apply per failed attempt; $5,000/day and $10,000/week profit caps trigger a mandatory Risk Review
